Sev, i'll come right out and say the sample is not in the beat. i hope that doesn't change your opinion of it. the sample was fuckin sweet, no doubt, but i wouldn't have been able to get the feeling i had with it. I made it in like 2.5 hours so it was a battle style time frame. The track is only the perc, a droning note on my bass and a high register bass lead. Im trying to rely more on the hardware and physical instruments i have and using samples sparingly and tastefully. Im really glad you liked it. after spending more time on it the mix is better too.

thank you for the crit though, i like where you're going with wanting to know inspiration behind these flips, there is a wealth of good music on these boards, its overwhelming how fly some cats are on here.

DJ Sapien - I always mention and/or vote for DJ Sapien because this dude is a true funkstronaut. This brotha brings life to every sample! a One-of-a-kind trademark sound that I have now associated with DJ Sapien; drums and basslines are always inspiring and the vox/scratching are always well thought. dude really brought the deep vibes out of this record and was able to tame the difficult ambient sounds that would have otherwise busted the beat

I might add that appellation to my Twitter profile, mayne haha. Appreciate the love. Oh, and peace to Dibia$e as well. That beat was out of this world but I thought I'd give the other dudes some well deserved props.

hahaa. Wait so you used the DRUMS??? Lol I feel like that's even cooler now because there was definitely no break that I heard in that record. I still vote guts no doubt

Yo my brain hurts from listening to all these dope beats. Everybody brought it, but I gotta go with BEN BADA BOOM because it had the perfect blend of ingredients, the groove was on point & the change-ups kept it interesting the whole time.
